CBNZ

Compare and Branch on Nonzero compares the value in a register with zero, and conditionally branches to a label at a PC-relative offset if the comparison is not equal. It provides a hint that this is not a subroutine call or return. This instruction does not affect the condition flags.

Assembler Symbols

<Wt>

Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose register to be tested, encoded in the "Rt" field.

<label>

Is the program label to be conditionally branched to. Its offset from the address of this instruction, in the range +/-1MB, is encoded as "imm19" times 4.

<Xt>

Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose register to be tested, encoded in the "Rt" field.

Operation

bits(datasize) operand1 = X[t, datasize]; if IsZero(operand1) == FALSE then BranchTo(PC64 + offset, BranchType_DIR, TRUE); else BranchNotTaken(BranchType_DIR, TRUE);
